The Top Ten Posts of 2009

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  January 21st, 2010 at 09:05 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I’ve been reminded of my negligence. I try to do a post each January 1st highlighting the top ten posts of the previous year. Well, here is the 2009 list, but there are actually 11 posts on it. The number ten spot is shared by two posts that got the exact same number of hits.

Congrats to Jeff Emanuel for the most read story of 2009:

1. Call For Informants: If You Oppose Obamacare, Even in ‘Casual Conversation,’ the White House Wants to Know About It

2. Obama Administration Intends to Purge Republicans From the Civil Service

3. History Is (Re)Written By The Winners

4. We Are No Longer a Nation of Laws. Senate Sets Up Requirement for Super-Majority to Ever Repeal Obamacare

5. Obama Brownshirts Try to Silence Glenn Beck

6. A Review of ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis’s Rolodex Suggests Strong White House Ties

7. Joe Wilson: Great American Hero! Bob Bennett: Unrepentant Fool

8. The Playboy Article (NSFW)

9. Let’s Talk Astroturf

10. White House tries to muzzle media; draws back a bloody stump.

10. Fight.

What I find so unusual about this past year’s is just how many of the posts came from late in the year and still managed to get so much traffic.

Well done.

    You have really gotten alot of play recently from your comment on the Nashville Tea party. First Frank Rich quotes you in his last column now politico is running with it. At a time when liberals are flipping out and going against each other, all the media needs is a story to run with about how conservatives are going at each other. It just seems like the more airtime some people get the bigger their egos get. just when it starts getting good watching chris matthews spittin all over howard dean, and the rest of the nuts at msnbc lose their mind, some people feel like their being fogotten about and need to grab a headline. It’s a pretty tight race right now with erickson and beck.

    B.) So why the heck do you figure that at a time when liberals are flipping out and going against each other, all the media needs is a story to run with about how conservatives are going at each other; it just seems like the more airtime some people get the bigger their egos get, and just when it starts getting good watching chris matthews spittin all over howard dean, and the rest of the nuts at msnbc lose their mind, some people feel like their being fogotten about and need to grab a headline and it?s a pretty tight race right now with erickson and beck?

    C.) Did you hear John Edwards is the father?

    Apparently the media will call 0bama on that. But they were content to let Marha do that.

    I watched Nightline the night of the Brown victory, mostly to watch the sour faces ;)

    They had a segment on the gaffs of the Marha campaign, yet they didn’t mention the reporter being pushed down.
